A Backstory of our traveler, traveling from Nagpur to Andaman
In a busy world of today, we often loose connection with our near and dear ones. To build the life that we want, we take our relationship with the people we love, for granted. This was the case with me, I was so busy with my professional life that I couldn’t meet my family for the longest time in my life. We all lived in different states and barely each other once a year.
That’s why I took matters into my own hand and booked a family tour package from Nagpur to Andaman and Nicobar Islands with this travel agency called, Dekho Andaman.
How did you get to know about Dekho Andaman ?
I get to know about Dekho Andaman at the Website called Quora, while I was searching for my options of travel agencies. There were so many positive reviews about Dekho Andaman on the website. Also, one of my friend strongly recommended them for our family Andaman Trip .

Experience in Radhanagar beach
SUNSET at the Radha Nagar Beach. The orange gold colour stretches in the sky, as far as I can see. This was the most astonishing view that we witnessed as a family together.
It’s DAY 3
Being far away from Nagpur Nonetheless, we never felt like we are far way from our home made food. We started our day with delicious breakfast. The Resort has a lot of vegetarian, as well as non-vegetarian options. After having a fulfilling meal, we went to HV Jetty and took a boat to Elephant Beach. The best thing was that the tickets were already being arranged by the agency itself, and this made the travelling part very leisurely and enjoyable.

We spent an ample amount of time at the Elephant Island, observing the pleasing nature. After soaking-in the absolute beauty, we went back at our resort and ended our day early with yet another delicious meal, in order to prepare us for the long day ahead.
Experience in Kalapatthar beach
We visited Kalapatthar beach on the Day 5 before departing to Neil Island. In Nagpur the sunrise happens pretty late & not that good compared to Andaman. So we woke to an eye pleasing view. Post breakfast, we went on with our trip and took a cruise to the one and only, Neil Island

Experience in Natural Bridge
We went to a great restaurant where we ordered a lot of food. After getting our tummies full, we went on with our trip and visited natural Bridge. Natural bridge was one the best places that we’ve visited in our entire trip. Natural Bridge is nature’s formation of a bridge with the help of rock and corals. Just below it, the water was so shallow that you can easily see little fishes swimming in and out.
Experience in Laxmanapur Beach
After witnessing this nature’s beauty, we were all set for Nature Walk in Jungle. We got to evidence a lot of wildlife there. The whole experience was extremely surreal.

After getting another beautiful view, we went back to hotel.

First of all, we were absolutely mesmerized by the scenic beauty of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The water was crystal clear and the sand was as white as clouds. The surreal natural beauty of Andaman had me amazed to this date. Another thing that surprised me the most was, amusingly, the size of the coconut there, they were amazingly humongous. I’ve never seen a coconut that size ever in my life
The best thing that we ate on our trip was lobster at a restaurant on Blue Island. We also ordered chicken and other dishes such as dal, and surprisingly, everything was beyond our expectations. Every dish that we ordered, tasted delicious. That restaurant is a must-visit according to me.
Suggestions For Travelers Travelling From Nagpur to Andaman
Plan a trip for at least a week
We only planned our trip for 5 days, which initially seemed enough to cover and properly experience Andaman. But honestly speaking, now 5 days seems comparatively less to explore such a beautiful place. I wish we could add a few more days to our trip.
Flight Tickets to Be Booked Prior
Book your flight tickets at least 2 months in advance. Since we planned in a very hurry way, we had to pay Rs3000 extra per air ticket for our journey to Port Blair from Nagpur
Always carry sunscreen
During travel, increased exposure to the sun may cause various severe skin problems like skin irritation, rashes, sunburn, etc. And nobody wants these interfering with the tour. Therefore, always remember to carry and regularly apply sunscreen, to avoid these problems and also to prevent getting tanned while you go on a trip.
Keep yourself hydrated
While on a tour, we tend to ignore the fact that we need to keep ourselves hydrated at all times. Ignoring the fact might lead to serious dehydration, which can severely negatively affect your health. Therefore, always remember to keep yourself hydrated.
